    Taco Azteca (Single taco) (right) and the Taco Baja Fish (Single Taco) (left)
    Jamie A.

    We really enjoyed the food here! I had three different tacos: Azteca, Baja shrimp, and Baja fish. All were delicious. The Azteca in particular was a favorite for both me and my husband. The service was great, the food came very quickly and the waitress was attentive but not over-bearing. The vibes were kind of coastal, the restaurant was clean and the place was kid friendly with a changing table in the ladies' room and multiple high chairs. Will definitely come back to try some of their other dishes!

    Another Tuesday, another taco place, but I wanted fish tacos and Los Aguachiles was down the street and had a kids menu so we went there. Oh man, not sure how they stay in business because their fish tacos are generous and had a large avocado slice for each and guess what? THEY'RE ONLY A BUCK! That's right, a fully decked out legit fish taco is $1 here. $2 Ultra beers were appreciated by hubby. I saw a lot of to go orders but the waiters are so friendly, we ate in. If you want a gteat taco Tuesday but are tired of the same, try this place out. They also have some crazy fresh fish towers that I want to check out another day.

    First time here. Work lunch. Pico de gallo is on point!

    Yeah this spot hits the spot. Baja Tacos were on point! It comes with 3 but I asked for 4 tacos thinking there were like other places with small portions. Nope. Two tacos in and I was full. They have a chipotle sauce that is paired with it and my god it's amazing. 100% will come back and check out the rest of the menu. Very good food and service was great.

    Sinaloense aguachiles- not spicy

    Why hadn't we gone here? This place was a heck of an experience. They bring you tostadas and a pico de gallo and yellow cream hot sauce to dip. We had to try the namesake dish- the aguachiles. The best aguachiles I have had. I ordered the Sinaloense style Aguachile served in a spicy serrano-jalapeno pepper and cilantro sauce, topped with red onion slices, cucumber and avocado. Definitely enough for two. We also ordered the sarandeado black bass and it was the best charbroiled fish. The marinade made it stellar! It comes topped with a stir fry of carrots, celery and onion. Very tasty stuff. With that and the fish I didn't even care for anything else on my plate (white rice pilaf and crinkle fries and side salad). We also had the baja fish tacos , 3 to a plate with no other sides. The fish was not greasy despite being deep fried tenders. It was cooked perfectly and crunchy. The aguas frescas are straight out the packet so that was a disappointment. Initially I was docking one star because it took 40 minutes from the time we ordered til we were brought the starter fish broth. But after we had the food, it was worth the wait. We literally walked in as soon as they opened, 11am. The service was really good and our waiter attentive without being overly intrusive. This has now become our go to for mexican seafood staples.

    This review is for the cimmeron location.. We went to Los Aguachiles i had a party of 6, 2 adults 1 senior citizen and 3 girls 2 under the age of 7. We sat down server was pretty quick with drinks we looked at the menu overall a bit pricey especially the ribeyes. Food was ok. When I asked for the check thats when I got the suprise. Because we were a party/family of 6 they added 18% gratuity automatically without being informed up front. Normally I would have been ok with that had we 1 been informed up front then I have a choice and 2 had I been in a group of 6 adults or more (still informed up front.) When I protested initially I was told "sorry thats just the way it was." When I stated fine i'll pay but I will never return and I will post on social media. At that point she offered to remove the 18% i stated no we9 are past that. You put it on the bill i will pay and call management tomorrow. Food was ok but not worth the price charged.

    Half dozen oysters

    I figured I should probably order aguachiles since its the namesake but Eric R. would never in a million years survive the spice or the citrus pow of this dish (in its many iterations on the menu). I probably am glad I did not because the poor server was solo in a very busy restaurant and Eric R. had to get up to ask for more water (in which she only gave us one glass initially). The salsas were pretty good - the green was quite hot and the chunky red was also good. I liked the chips because they were crispy and not salty or stale. It took awhile for the server to get our order because she was running around to other tables and delivering food - this is totally understandable. Eric R. asked her to at least put in an order of guacamole (which another review called a bowl of heaven). After we flagged her down to order our meal, she came back and told us the restaurant was out of guac (I guess everyone else got it first!) - I ordered a half dozen oysters and a shrimp ceviche tostada; Eric R. got the shrimp al pastor and subbed beans for potatoes on the side (which also comes with salad and rice). The menu said it was a kebob but he got 3 tacos instead without rice. He asked for a side of rice though and it did come out fast and tasty. I got my oysters when he got his meal, and the mignonette was quite good - very tangy and acidic with onions and green onions. I liked it a lot and also squeezed lime on the oysters. I got a bonus oyster (7 were on the plate) so that was cool. The server was running all over the place and I saw her deliver ceviche to other tables but after awhile she came by with a plate of a sliced half avocado as a gesture for no guac, which was nice but a bit odd since we had no food to eat at that point. I asked her about my ceviche and she ran to the kitchen window, and it seemed she never put that order in, but it came out fast. I added the new avocado to the tostada which already had a slice, and it was pretty tasty. Overall, this was fine for our seafood fix but I do not think it compared to the greatness of Tampico in Houston and Jarocho in Kansas City. I think this place would be aided by adding one more person to help in the front of the house. It was just fine so I would recommend it if you like seafood and have some patience. Also, I will concur that the beers are cheap!

    Tacos Baja
    Moses E.

    Dang those Baja shrimp tacos are to die for, I mean seriously the shrimp was cooked to a perfect crisp and the toppings were amazing, as well as the green and orange sauce served along with it. Reason for 4 stars and not 5 is because the service was alright, we were trying to cash out but didn't know we had to pay up front and weren't told so we waited a good minute, so make sure you pay at the register once you're through with lunch/dinner! Other than that will be coming again and trying the peel-off shrimp!

    Very good food. Had Tacos Baja (fish) absolutely awesome tasted the best I have had in El Paso coming from California. Excited I found this spot. Will recommend to every person who asks me about fish tacos. Will defiantly come back. Thank you also for your great service.

    Came to this establishment with family. We ordered a couple of items off the menu. Our food took about 30mins longer than usual. Which I didn't mind because the flavor is good. Our waiter didn't check up on us nor offered us any refills. And when it came to pay we had some coupons that we've gotten in the mail. But for some odd reason our waiter didn't want to validate them. That's what I call false advertising and misleading customers. For how we were treated and not honoring their coupons I left this poor review.

    Aguachiles Rojos "Mar y Tierra"
    Jorge G.

    This place is pretty spectacular! If you're looking for some authentic Mexican-style seafood, then this is the place for you. I recommend going straight for the Aguachiles (a bowl containing raw shrimp fully cooked in salt water and lime, topped off with a variety of greens and spices). A word of warning: they are particularly spicy, so if you can't handle spicy food, then you will most likely not be able to finish the whole thing. This, combined with an order of "Quesadillas Azteca" (shrimp quesadillas containing beans, sliced avocado, and huitlacoche) will take your taste buds to the coast of Mexico. These are probably the best quesadillas that I've ever eaten. I'm Hispanic... that says A LOT! The ownership itself is very well established and the quality of this place is quite high. The only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars is because the quality is not always consistent. There are days where the plating is impeccable, the portion sizes incredibly generous, and the overall quality of the food unmatched. Other days it appears that some of the dishes are rushed, the presentation subpar, and portion sizes lacking. Perhaps I went in on a busy day. Perhaps the head chef was out that day. Maybe, just maybe, they were short staffed because someone called in sick. Either way, I can't say that I've ever had a bad experience. Everything on the menu is a win. All in all, this is one of my favorite restaurants in town. If you're looking for that southern coast Mexican taste, this is as authentic and fresh as you'll find in the desert. With a minor tweak in consistency, this place can be one of the top restaurants in town.

    Must come if... You are in the mood for some good hangover recovery sea food. Their aguachiles are to die for and in my opinion, these are the best aguachiles in El Paso. The Mar y Tierra are the best in my opinion. These ones come with cucumber and beef jerky, order with the Sinaloa salsa, but beware. They are spicy. Ask your server to add a bit of Clamato if you want them mild.

While the food was never the primary…read morereason I returned, the excellent margaritas and outstanding service kept me coming back for nearly two decades. Unfortunately, that loyalty came to an end after a recent experience that was both disappointing and unacceptable. My family and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Every guest paid separately, and there were no issues during the evening itself. However, as the event concluded, multiple attendees, including family members and in-laws, overheard servers making derogatory comments about our party. Among the remarks were that we were "ungrateful," "cheap," and "broke," along with other inappropriate comments that no customer should ever have to hear. I brought the matter to the attention of ownership, hoping for a meaningful resolution. While I was told the employees had been reprimanded, the proposed remedy was a $25 gift card. After nearly 18 years of patronage, the response felt dismissive and only added insult to injury. What disappoints me most is not simply the behavior of the staff, but the lack of accountability and concern shown afterward. This was a place I once considered a reliable and welcoming destination for family gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, that trust has been lost. As a result, I will no longer be returning or recommending this establishment to friends, family, or colleagues. Respect for customers should be a fundamental part of any hospitality business, and in this case, that standard was not met.

The food arrived within about 10 minutes for our group of six, which was impressive. The complimentary fried tortillas were very good, and the salsa was enjoyable as well. I ordered al pastor tacos.

I actually poured some of the bean soup into a bowl so we could serve ourselves to avoid some spilling. The baked potatoes were generously bathed in butter. They did not provide any other toppings for the potatoes. Personally I think some sour cream, or Mexican crema de la Mesa, some chives, some other toppings would have been nice. The queso fundido was good but also a disappointment. It was missing the chorizo that I had paid extra for. The meat was very good. Well done but not dry or hard to chew. I was pleased to see that the chicken was not cooked into dryness. We did come across a couple of meat grisel or what in Spanish is called "nervio". This place has a small sign that states that if you pay with a credit card a 3% service charge will be added to your bill. I am pretty good with math and I pointed out to the cashier that they actually charge 4%. He did make a correction on my bill. Be ware of your bill. Otherwise they do give you plenty of food. It reminds me of a Mexican parrillada/ grilled cook out. The food here was very good, good tasting, and in spite of the small glitches worth it. We will be returning again.

I pile all three on my tacos, and every bite is amazing. Their tacos remind me of my favorite tacos at the resort my family visited every summer in Cancún. Even though it has been years since I have been there, El Cometa brings those memories back with every bite. The staff is incredible.
